In Hollywood, divorces often dominate headlines, while reconciliations remain rare. That’s why whenever celebrity exes are seen together, fans can’t help but speculate. Jessica Simpson and her ex-husband, Eric Johnson, are now at the center of such chatter.
Are Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson Back Together?
On August 29, 2025, Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson were seen attending Ashlee Simpson’s Las Vegas concert at Voltaire nightclub inside The Venetian. While the pair kept a low profile, fans immediately speculated about a possible reunion. Though there was no public display of affection, they were seated in the same group and appeared to be enjoying the evening together.
Footage also shows them boarding a flight out of Burbank, California, earlier that day. The couple kept an empty seat between them, but their joint travel and public appearance fueled further rumours of reconciliation.
Why Did They Separate After 10 Years?
Jessica and Eric confirmed their separation in January 2025, ending a decade-long marriage. At the time, Jessica described the split as a “painful situation” while emphasizing their focus on co-parenting their three children: daughters Maxwell Drew and Birdie Mae, and son Ace Knute.
According to reports from Page Six, the separation stemmed from a mix of trust issues, career differences, financial strain, and rising tensions. Jessica herself had hinted at marital struggles during a March 2025 concert, sharing that asking “very personal questions” at home had turned her world “upside down.”
